Juicy red fruits & fine texture, quite traditional In a good way. Reminder of such a food/bistro wine. Still, I wished for another dimension, especially at 20$- maybe a bit of funk?

Deep purple. High concentration with high levels of staining and moderate tears. Red and black plum, strawberry, cranberry, juicy raspberry, hints of black pepper, green pepper, clove and other sweet spices, tobacco, and stony minerality. Elevated acidity, medium minus soft tannins, moderate alcohol. Fruits went tart on palate. Medium+ finish. It was a blind tasting bottle from FLX provisions. Was debating between right bank Bordeaux Merlot/Cab Franc Blend and Cot. The plush plum and concentration though...
